fans of my blog,indeed anyone who has an e at their keyboard or a t for tripping will be aware of dan’s aliases over the years.
good morning dan what time is it where you are?
its the same time the morning time.i had the radio on there and it was poor.
well dan may i say how much i definitley enjoyed some of the comments you posted on my blog over the years.
i couldnt even look at most of them now.
really?
so long as it makes its way to the irish times eoin i dont mind.
hows life treating you-how are women,treating you?
well eoin as you know no women read your blog so you know yourself,not great is all ill say.

thats like something bob dylan would say-are you a fan?he said that about chaos.that he liked chaos but chaos didnt like him.
did he now-mumbojumo.i cant stand him.like a rolling stone-juiced in it,was that college-drink like?
i think so.
do you like the irish times?
ah i do some days id read nearly all of it,other days then id go without,may i say i like your shuffle strip a lot.
tahks very much dan,one of your favourite parts?
certainly!ahm what else,not much else,the odd good article-the science is always bad,a lot of the paper is bad.
what dont you like then
the magazine-i think the magazine is fucking shit.
go on.
ah eoin i couldnt be up to satirising this green and blacks chocolate crowd and-ill tell you one thing keep them out of the bog!i hope no carpenter fashions these people a hay knife or a slean or a pike altho youd buy a pike.
why not dan-are you precious about the bog?
well youre the blogger.
a foolish pun-arent you fond of them?
well as vs naipaul used to say there was a fella one time who used spend his day making-making not concoting puns-and his head finally got tangled up where boy
can i cut across you there,my god thats poor,vs naipaul where did you get that line from?
i read about one page of him one time and i liked the man.and i knew it would come in handy,i was a fairly serious oasis fan-ill stress the word a serious oasis fan.
ho ho,i kind of know what you mean.
you kind of do.
excuse me!
i was quoting the mighty boosh there apropos of
okay,tell,so what will you do.

well its been a pleasure to talk to you,i dont know is this irish times material though.

Wait, what? I asked you up to Dublin at the time of Mongrel? The only person I remember asking up to Dublin who I didn’t know were that Irish neo-Nazi black metal band. That wasn’t you, was it??
May 5th, 2011 at 2:06 pm
ah god no,some fella had written an article about marvin gaye and i said this is atrocious and corrected an apostrophe in an article that had a line about reading finnegan’s wake in a wind tunnel and how myself and my friend had come up for the opening of an art gallery after a feed of legal yokes and ended up staying the night on the streets drinking with fellas because we blew the money and other than that now i enjoyed reading this issue etc.so the reply was yeah next time youre up in dublin be sure to come up and see us.how many years ago that was i don’t know,i was delighted at the time with this.and there was no more made of it.
May 5th, 2011 at 2:21 pm

May 5th, 2011 at 3:55 pm

i actually broke the other guys website about a month ago with one comment.they haven’t been back.there aren’t many sites on the net,in ireland at least you could actually go on for a bit of crack.those guys took it to heart a bit didn’t they but sure what.
